Product Overview

RENT TEKTRONIX MSO3012 Oscilloscope (call for availability)

The Tektronix MSO3012 Mixed-Signal Oscilloscope provides powerful performance and benefit-packed tools, needed for simple and speedy debugging of complex designs, including analysis of 20 analog and digital signals with one instrument, high bandwidth and mimimal oversampling, a complete set of triggers, and deep record length of 5 Mpoints for capturing long windows of signal activiity. The Tektronix MSO3012 Oscilloscope adds 16 digital channels that are fully integrated into the oscilloscope allowing for triggering across all input channels and automatically time-correlating all analog, digital, and serial signals. The MSO3012 also offers MagniVu™ high-speed acquisition, essential for making accurate timing measurements, and its innovative Wave Inspector controls provides comprehensive search and waveform navigation.
